Stars and studio moguls often do their wheeling and dealing at this legendary Hollywood haunt, where Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tyra Banks have been seen. Chef Sam Marvin tweaks dishes to anyone's liking (A-lister or otherwise) and purchases the freshest ingredients daily from local farmers' markets. Think of this colorful bowl as an alphabet soup of vitamins, delivering a healthy dose of A, B6, C, and K, not to mention lycopene, a potent antioxidant.

Excellent and easy easy easy! A perfect meal for a hot summer eve. My tweaks: I squeezed half a RED grapefruit and used LIME rather than lemon juice. I also added 1 tsp EACH of ground cayenne pepper and cumin rather than the tabasco (just because it's what I had on hand). Used a LOT of cilantro because I love it!
Just tossed everything in my blender and hit start. So easy!
Served it with slices of avocado floating on top. It's been a hit year after year, with multiple audiences! This recipe is a winner.

Simple, fantastic and fresh! I cut
everything into chunks and
tranformed into soup with my
immersion blender. Done in
minutes! Used smoked paprika
instead of tabasco for a more subtle
yet smoky bite. Would also try
fresh serranos with just a bit of
the smoked paprika. Great dinner
with homemade cilantro lime shrimp
on the side!

Hooray! Success on the first try; even my husband, who doesn't like raw tomatoes, loved it. I only used 1/4 cucumber, added a smallish avocado, used 5TBsp red wine vinegar and only 3TBsp olive oil, and added 1.5 clove garlic. It was great; I'm excited to see how it matures tomorrow!

This was amazing and so easy! I've made gazpacho that calls for bread and tomato juice and I was left to think, why bother? This uses 100% fresh seasonal veges; the tabasco and balsamic send it over the top!

Quick, easy, delicious. I took 1/2 of the ingredients and pulsed them in the blender and then used a potato masher on the entire soup to arrive at the desired consistency. The cucumber stands up too heartily to a pair of forks or hands as suggested.
